No-Go Zones &red Zones PDF

The document discusses prevention of dropped objects through proper use of no-go zones and red zones on drilling rigs. It defines red zones as areas on the drill floor that are only entered when necessary and with permission, while no-go zones can change frequently and require permits to enter. The presentation encourages discussion of good and bad practices regarding zone identification and control. It also shares examples like ensuring all personnel are aware of zone markings and barriers, and reducing time spent in hazardous areas like red zones. The goal is to provide awareness and follow-up rigsite training to reinforce safe zone procedures.

What am I here to talk about today?

 Introduce the topic Red zones and No-Go zones – Part of Shell DROPS
 Why is it important topic to Shell…. And why it should be for you
 Encourage some discussion around good and bad practices
 Encourage some feedback amongst yourselves on how we use No-Go and Red Zones on the rig to keep people
out of potentially hazardous areas

 Starting with an awareness session….


 Share some of my experiences relating red zones and no-go zones
 Show you an animation – and get some feedback from you
 Follow up with…..
 Over next couple of days do some ‘rigsite’ training sessions

2
What is a Red Zone?

 Typically covers the drill floor


 An area that you only go into when needed (and
when you are authorised)
 Entry is controlled by a designated person in
charge (i.e the driller)
 Red Zones tend to be quite ‘static’ same red zone
on rig floor all the time.

3
What is a No-Go Zone

 No-Go Zones are restricted areas that no one


should enter.
 Controlled by a PTW
 These areas should always have hard barriers
 No-Go zones tend to change frequently
 Good communication required between those
setting up the area and the rest of the crew

Red Zone Awareness
 New guy on the rig – ‘green hat’
 Asked directions… pointed in right direction
 Followed the walk way… (al least didn’t walk up catwalk)
 Didn’t report to driller
 Man-riding started with people below
 Grease Gun secured… but dropped free!
 2nd time round escorted to rig floor introduced to driller and shown red zone
 2nd time round – rig floor made a no-go zone, PA announcement made and man-
riding eliminated
 Making new people aware of red zones and safe routes
 Labelling / marking of the red zone
 People in the Red Zone when not needed.

10
No-Go Zone

 Working at height – on the crane… non-routine


 Identified that a No-Go zone was required
 Poor barrier… didn’t let the guy inside the container know
 No signs on barrier or PA announcement
 2nd time round man was able to exit container via different route and
stayed out of the danger area.
 Correct use of barriers for a No-Go zone
 Communicating a No-Go Zone

11
Working in a Red Zone

 POOH – four floor men stood directly around the rotary table in the
‘Red Zone’
 TDS / Blocks / Derrick…. Full of potential dropped objects
 2nd time round – all floormen out of the way in the ‘green zone’….
Even automatic pipe wiper.
 Reduce time in Red Zone
 Use ‘safer’ step back areas

12
Where do we go from here…

 End of the Awareness session…

 Follow up with some ‘rigsite’ training sessions…


 Red Zones
 No-Go Zones

 Encourage some discussion around good and bad practices


 Encourage some feedback amongst yourselves about unsafe work practices
 Get you to look for improvements in your workplace.
